Similar letters -of reference indicate like parts.

This invention relates to anew and improvedmeans for attaching a -subsoilfshare to an 'ordinary plow, whereby said share may be Vadjusted higher or jlower, asdesired, and held very irmly in position when adjusted.

In the aecompanying sheet of drawings-A represents the' beam of a plow, B B the handles, O the mouldL board, and D the landside of an ordinary plow. The

parts being old and well known, de not require a minute description. The handles BB are connectedby' a rod, E, on

which a screw is'cut. This screw-rod passes through j an oblong slot, a, `in a bar, `F, and 0nsaid screwrod theres a nut, b, at one side ofthe bar Ff; a n ut, vc,

provided with a handle, (l, also being on the rod E, at

the opposite side of bar F.

By screwing up the nut e against'the; bar F, the lat- Figure 2 isa side view ofthe saine', `part1'y'\'i`i ''scc-A Figure e is a emailed pari or wp view of the sin ter-will be rrnly clamped 'between the two nn'ts, and,
